Who: A rising London singer who has toured with Gorillaz and lent her voice to singles from Buraka Som Sistema, Ty, Jakwob, and Shy FX, among others. Her star turn on SBTRKT's "Pharaohs" was her springboard out of U.K. club music; on her solo debut single, "Stars"/"Night Sky," the British producer Redlight gives her a modern R&B backing that plays to her strengths. The jittery beats and fractured samples highlight her incredibly, almost uncannily smooth delivery; you can practically see the vapor rising off her long, held syllables, though it's hard to tell whether it's steam or dry ice.

File Next To: SBTRKT, Jessie Ware, Katy B, Solange.

Where to Start: Gabor's new single "Stars," out now on Toddla T's new Girls Music label, and its even better B-side, "Night Sky," out December 17. The Wonderful World of Roses Gabor Vol. 1, mixed by Martelo, recontextualizes her freestyles and collaborations amid bass-oriented cuts from Boddika and Hudson Mohawke.
